The Trustee Leadership Programme is back 

Delivered by social enterprise Cause4 in partnership with the Clothworkers’ Company, this award-winning Trustee course now trains over 500 Trustees a year and gives professionals the skills and confidence to join a charity as a board member.

At the Charity Matching Event, delegates will be supported to find a new board role through a "speed-dating" session with charity leaders seeking new Trustees.

The programme also includes bespoke matching support, where we use your interests, skillset and location preferences to find relevant Trustee vacancies from our network, helping participants on each programme to join Boards as Trustees.

The sessions give participants extensive time for Q&A, allowing for specific queries about governance and trusteeship to be addressed..

The Trustee Leadership Programme is now Approved by the Institute of Leadership & Management, so participants can now opt to receive certification on completion of the course. This is a valuable way to demonstrate your continuing professional development and to showcase your commitment to becoming an effective board member.
